Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Surgeon General nominee has raised concerns regarding the safety of flu shots and birth control, citing risks of cancer and depression. Historical medical grievances include the Dalkon shield sterilization and paralysis from the 1954 polio vaccine. Furthermore, hydrofluoric acid in the water supply is described as a neurotoxin that breaches the blood-brain barrier to deliver other environmental poisons.

Denmark has officially apologized for a forced contraception program that targeted Inuit women in Greenland between the 1960s and 1980s. The program utilized IUD devices similar to the Dalkon Shield, which caused widespread medical complications, including endometriosis and permanent infertility. This historical eugenics project is cited as a primary reason for Greenlandic distrust of Danish rule and a potential opening for American diplomatic intervention.
